How to Make Mason Jar Cups

Mason Jars cups are reusable and great for kids and adults! Reuseable mason jar cups areperfect for enjoying a fresh cup of lemonade on a hot summer day!! There’s two methods included, both metal lid and plastic lid cups.

I purchased the grommets from Lowe’s {in-store} and Gardner Brand {Amazon.com}. I prefer the Amazon Gardner Bender 1/4-Inch Hole Grommets, 6-Pack brand – a bit thicker, large quantity, and better price. Home Depot didn’t have any in this size.

What’s Next:

1. Unscrew your jars. You can pre-clean the jars or wait until the end and clean everything together. I pre-soaked the grommets, but waited until the end to clean everything else. Use 3/8′ bit and drill through lid. Note: My hole is not a clean-cut. I only had a 1/4″ bit on-hand, so I drilled through, then made the hole slightly larger to fit 3/8′ size – later I got the right bit and corrected the holes.

2. Next, file the hole to remove any sharp jagged pieces.

3. Be very careful! The hole is sharp! Oops! I’m ok! 🙂

4. Slide the grommet in and work-it through the hole. As you wiggle in, turn the lid carefully and push it in with your nail. Repeat motion until it pops in. This takes a bit of patience. {Tip} Don’t use anything to pull it through, they rip easily – soap and water helped. Once I got a 3/8″ bit, it popped right in like a charm!

5. Be sure to wash the cups, lids, and grommets really well to remove any shavings and dirt! I soaked the grommets in dish soap beforehand to give them a good cleaning. There you have it – How to Make mason Jar Cups! They come in all different sizes too, so kids and adults can enjoy!

Things I learned along the way:

Don’t apply to much pressure to the outside of the lid or it will bend in half.

Don’t use needle-nose pliers to pull the grommet through, it rips easily.

Be careful the hole is very sharp.

The lids will eventually rust, so a great alternative is plastic lids!
